MEREDITH  COLLEGE,  CHARTERED  IN  1891, 
WAS  THE  FULFILLMENT  OF  THE  VISION  OF 
THOMAS  MEREDITH  WHO  SAW  THE  NECES- 
SITY OF  HIGHER  EDUCATION  FOR  WOMEN. 
FOUNDED  WITH  THE  PURPOSE  OF  RENDERING 
SERVICE  TO  CHRISTIANITY  AND  TO  HUMAN- 
ITY, MEREDITH,  AS  A  DENOMINATIONAL 
SCHOOL,  SEEKS  TO  CARRY  OUT  THE  PURPOSE 
FOR  WHICH  IT  CAME  INTO  BEING. 


DR.    CARLYLE    CAMPBELL 


A.H.,   M.A.,   1.1 
President 


Meredith  College  opened  its  forty-first  session  under  the  direction  of  its  new  president, 
Dr.  Carlyle  Campbell,  succeeding  Dr.  Charles  E.  Brewer  who  resigned  in  1939  after 
serving  as  president  for  twenty-four  years.  Dr.  Campbell  came  to  Meredith  from  the 
State  College  faculty  where  he  was  head  of  the  Department  of  English.  He  began  his 
career  as  instructor  of  English  at  Buie's  Creek  Academy,  and  after  two  years  of  service 
in  the  World  War,  taught  English  at  Coker  College,  in  Hartsville,  South  Carolina.  He 
later  served  as  president  of  that  college  for  eleven  years.  Though  Dr.  Campbell  has 
been  at  Meredith  for  only  a  year,  he  is  admired  and  respected  by  faculty  and  students  alike.

worked  with  and  for  the  students  of  Meredith, 
she  has  attempted  to  bring  to  the  campus  a

COMMUNITY  OF  INTEREST  AND  FEELING  THAT 
MAKES  THEM  ONE.  SHARING  IN  THIS 
FELLOWSHIP  AND  CONTRIBUTING  TO  IT  ARE 
THE  FACULTY,  WHOSE  TEACHING,  INSPIRED

The  Class  of  '40  swung  into  being  in  the  fall  of  1936  with  one  hundred 
and  eighty  members,  most  of  whom  were  branded  by  the  rest  of  the 
school  as  being  more  ready  and  willing  than  able.  Never  to  be  forgotten 
is  the  first  class  song,  which  convulsed  the  audience  with  its  lusty  chorus  of 
"Rah!  Rah!  Rah!  Fresh!  Fresh!  Fresh!,"  and  the  freshman  stunt,  Macbetty, 
which    rhe    class    at    first    remembered    with    a    shudder,    but    finally    with    affec- 

asylum,  In  A  Nut  Celt,  won  the  Class  of  '40  second  place,  and  the  daisy 
chain  turned  out  to  be  a  thing  of  beauty,  despite  the  general  impression 
that   the    class    never   could    and    never   would   be    able    to  sing   together.      That 

first  place  in  the  class  song  contests.  The  great  triumphs  of  the  junior 
year  were  the  finding  of  the  crook  for  the  first  time  in  seven  years  and  the 
winning  of  first  place  in  the  stunts  with  a  railway  mystery  comedy.  Train 
Your    Mind. 

The  senior  year,  bringing  with  it  the  honor  of  winning  the  Palio  with 
the  Scotch  costumes  honoring  Dr.  Campbell,  has  found  the  seniors  more 
sober  and  more  deeply  loyal  to  Meredith.  The  girls  in  the  Class  of  '40 
have  found  that  working  and  playing,  success  and  failure  have  made  them 
true  comrades  with   a   fellowship  to  last   through  many  years  to  come.

These  who  were  "big  sisters"  for  the  first  time  this  year 
took  their  responsibility  seriously  and  tried  to  play  up 
Meredith  tradition  into  a  resulting  tine  spirit  which  spread 
to  their  "little  sisters,"  the  freshmen.  Winners  of  the 
Palio  in  the  years  '37  and  '38,  and  winning  second  place 
in  the  stunts  their  sophomore  year,  the  juniors  have  made 
their  own  mark  on  Meredith  history.  Perhaps  they  have 
made  a  lasting  contribution  to  the  Meredith  tradition  in 
the  Red  Devil  song,  composed  and  sung  by  them  on  Soph 
Day  Off  last  year,  when  it  was  decided  that  that  day 
should  not  be  one  set  aside  to  "heckle"  freshmen  but  rather 
to  promote  a  better  spirit  between  classes.  In  many  ways, 
all  of  which  cannot  be  immediately  recognized,  the  junior 
class  has  proved  worthy  of  joining  the  numbers  who  sing 
"These  Bones  Gonna  Rise  Again."

He  meets  iis  at  the  station  with  a  smile  that's  pleased  and  broad 
And  asks  us  how  we  stood  the  trip  and  if  we  have  had  fun; 
He  takes  our  baggage  checks  and  gets  our  hatboxes  and  coats 
And  delivers  us  to  Mother,  feeling  that  his  part  is  done. 

But  we  know  that  he  keeps  watching,  feeling  just  as  proud  as  punch. 

And  he  takes  our  part  in  arguments  and  offers  us  the  car. 

He  goes  to  work  before  we  wake  hut  hurries  home  at  noon. 

And  we  catch  a  glimpse  at  intervals,  though  sometimes  from  afar. 

When  he  comes  home,  he  sits  beneath  a  reading  light  and  turns 

The  pages  of  his  paper,  with  a  comment  here  and  there. 

''Well,  I  see  that  Congress  passed  that  bdl!"  and 

"We're  due  to  have  some  rain 

Tomorrow,  though  The  Herald  says  the  week  end  will  be  fair." 

He's  just  the  dearest  fellow,  and  he  has  such  faith  in  us 
That  he  really  isn't  quite  convinced  that  we  are  ever  bad! 
He  loves  to  help  us  all  he  can,  with  checks  and  other  things. 
Oh.  there  never,  never,  never  was  a  grander  pal  than  Dad!

They  were  off  at  a  lireat  pace  this  year,  winning  first 
place  at  the  annual  stunt  night.  Ever  since  the  Class  of 
'42  entered  Meredith,  people  have  been  saying,  "Watch 
them.  They'll  go  places."  And  they're  out  to  prove  that 
they'll  do  it  by  hanging  together. 

Last  year,  as  freshmen,  they  turned  out  loyally  when 
their  "big  sisters"  were  crooking,  and  on  the  fateful  night 
of  March  27  when  the  crcok  was  discovered,  there  was  a 
goodly  force  of  them  on  hand  to  take  part  in  the  celebra- 
tion. At  the  breakfast  which  they  gave  the  juniors,  'tis 
said  that  everyone  had  such  a  good  time  and  ate  so  much 
that  classes  were  definitely  hard  to  attend. 

These  Sophs  have  plenty  of  class  spirit  which  is  fast 
turning  into  Meredith  spirit.

Once  I  fell  and  hurt  my  knee. 

It  hurt  so  bad. 

Mother  came  and  tied  it  up 

And  told  a  joke 

And  made  me  glad. 

Once  I  tried  to  fight  a  thing  and  failed. 

It  was  such  pain. 

Mother  came  and  gave  me  hope. 

I  fought  again 

And  not  in  vain. 

Now  though  I'm  big  I  still  hare  pain 

That  makes  me  sad. 

Then  Mother  s  joke  and  smiling  eyes 

Come  back  to  me 

And  make  me  glad. 

And  somehow.  I  must 
Keep  on  trying  to  be 
As  fine  as  the  dreams 
She  made  for  me.

freshmen  have  made  this  year  has  been  an  excellent 
one.  They  started  off  by  winning  second  place  for 
their  stunt,  the  first  time  in  nine  years  any  fresbman 
class  has  won  recognition  on  stunt  night.  For  pep- 
piness  and  individuality  they  are  outstanding,  and 
they  give  promise  of  being  one  of  Meredith's  finest 
classes.

STUDENT 

GOVERNMENT 


Dorothy  Green 

President  of  SluJeiil  Government 


Our  aim  for  Student  Government  at  Meredith  is  to  have  a  system  in  which  every 
member  of  the  student  body  feels  that  hers  is  a  definite  part  in  making  our  life  here 
richer  and  fuller,  worthy  of  the  respect  of  everyone  and  of  our  lasting  love  and  loyalty. 
The  honor  system  is  based  on  the  fact  that  each  girl  realizes  that  she  not  only  follows 
the  rules  made  to  regulate  our  association  here  but  that  she  also  influences  others  to  do 
likewise. 

Above  all  things  we  would  emphasize  the  principles  of  honesty  and  unselfishness  in 
our  living,  along  with  the  development  of  a  spirit  of  co-operation  among  all  groups  on 
cur  campus.  We  realize  that  new  girls  who  come  to  our  campus  have  difficulty  in  adjust- 
ing themselves  to  our  ideals  in  Student  Government  and  to  college  life  in  general.  So 
this  year  we  have  tried  a  scheme  whereby  each  freshman  has  as  a  guide  an  "old  girl," 
chosen  because  of  general  excellence  of  character  and  leadership,  to  direct  her  and  help 
her  during  her  first  year  at  Meredith. 

We  know  that  the  student  body  is  coming  to  feel  more  certainly  the  true  significance 
of  the  honor  system,  and  we  hope  that  the  community  life  which  arises  from  hearty 
co-operation  with  the  ideals  and  principles  of  real  Student  Government  will  send  out 
girls  of  whom  Meredith  can  be  more  and  more  proud.

THE       OAK       LEAVES 


The  Oak  Leaves,  the  college  eniuial  pub- 
lished by  the  students  of  Meredith  College, 
has  as  its  purpose  the  portrayal  of  Meredith 
life  in  word  and  in  picture.  Though  the 
different  phases  of  college  life  have  their  in- 
dividual places,  the  most  prominence  is  prop- 
erlv  accorded  to  the  Senior  Class. 


The  staff  of  the  Oak  Leaves  hopes  that 
the  informality  of  the  nineteen-forty  yearbook 
will  appeal  to  the  students.  Any  success 
which  it  may  attain  should  be  attributed  to 
the   following  members  of  the   editorial   staff:

The  Acorn  was  formerly  the  only  student 
publication  besides  the  annual.  After  the 
Twig  was  established  in  1920,  the  Acorn 
dropped  its  gossip  column,  athletic  news  and 
other    features,    and    became    solelv    a    literary 


magazine.  Since  that  time,  by  publishing  the 
original  short  stories  and  poems,  articles  and 
essays  of  the  students,  it  has  tried  to  voice  the 
best  student  thought  and  to  give  recognition 
to   the   best   creative    writing  on   the   campvis.

efforts  to  gain  for  Meredith  the  best  of  every- 
thing  in    her   department. 


GERTRUDE   ROYSTER   SORRELL 

Mrs.  Sorrell,  who  was  for  so  long  the  eminently 
successful  Director  of  Physical  Education,  now 
devotes  most  of  her  time  to  the  teaching  of  in- 
terpretive dancing  and  of  exercises  for  the 
building  of  good  posture.  Under  her  excellent 
supervision  does  Meredith  present  a  more  suc- 
cessful May  Day  each  year.  Also,  under  her 
direction  does  the  facultv  maintain  one  of  the 
most  beloved  traditions  of  Meredith  by  its  pre- 
sentation of  Lewis  Carroll's  Jliic  in  ll'onda- 
land  everv  four  vears. 


THE  MONOGRAM  CLUB 

The  purpose  of  the  Monogram  Club  is  to  arouse  and  maintain  interest  in  sports  and  sportsman- 
ship. The  club  is  composed  of  girls  who  have  been  awarded  monograms  for  reaching  the 
standard  of  proficiency  indicated  by  a  thousand  points  won  by  participation  in  the  various 
sports.  The  club  confers  a  further  honor  by  awarding  a  star  for  every  additional  four  hun- 
dred points.

BASKETBALL 


Basketball  season  started  later  this  year  than 
usual,  but  under  the  capable  hands  of  Manager 
Rachel  Lewis  the  games  between  the  classes 
were  able  to  be  played  off  before  spring  holidays. 
This  year  marked  the  third  triumph  of  the  class 
of  '41  in  the  basketball  tournament,  which  achieve- 
ment is  an  unusual  record  for  a  class  in  the  his- 
tory of  athletics  at  Meredith.  The  scores  of  the 
games  are  as  follows:

Hockey  is  one  of  the  most  popular  sports  at 
Meredith.  The  classes  vie  in  close  competition, 
and  this  year  the  class  of  1942  was  successful 
in  the  attempt  to  win  the  championship.  At 
the  end  of  the  season,  a  first  and  second  var- 
sity was  selected,  consisting  of  the  outstanding 
players  of  the   four  class  teams.
